"...Wrestling a very friendly bear."

We've already had some hints at how big a performance Russell has... erm... rustled up. Back in May, it was revealed that both Chris Pratt and Gunn got emotional when he wrapped filming. Could that mean that his role is inherently an emotionally devastating one? Might he be up for the chop?

The question of who Russell is playing still looms large. In March, Gunn revealed that he'd just shot a remarkable scene between him and Chris Pratt, which very much hints of their father/son relationship. Even more tellingly, Gunn refused to show any footage/pictures because they were in costumes and it would be too spoilery:

"We just shot a scene with Chris Pratt and Kurt Russell. I cannot show you - they are in their costumes - but it was magnificent and really exciting."

So Russell's costume would be immediately identifiable then? That's a pretty telling statement.
